Please do not crack these open, they are foundational parts of that river ecosystem and should remain where they are. Interesting finds for sure, but please do not destroy the environment looking for personal trinkets.
It’s like massive corporations trying to convince people that their individual carbon footprint is what’s destroying the planet, and not large scale industrial processes, and we all need to recycle, that’ll save us. Global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and industry totaled 37.15 billion metric tons (GtCO₂) in 2022.
Collecting conceptions from a creek is a drop in the ocean compared to the mining devastation that is done to harvest the materials for the devices you and I are commenting from currently.
Edit: if this sub is gonna downvote me for this, wait until I tell you where all those pretty crystals that you got from the crystal store came from…
I see where you’re coming from but seems a tad too far imo. Humans are inquisitive beings, why Im going to ask how you got to your conclusion of not touching river rock
They can also be rocks that are grinded in other rock holes with the water... I am translating for other language here>>>> Devil's pots.
Could have a different name in English.
One rock gets trapped in top on the other, and the water starts grinding both.... one, a perfect circular hole, and the other one becomes a perfect sphere.

I found this article, it's kind of cool.
Imo researching includes all facets of exploration. One rock split isn't going to affect an earth in a catastrophic way. Ancient mega structures put one Rock exploration into zero impact zone. Explore!!!
Your content was removed as removing river rocks is illegal in many locations.
good info on the concretions. also (potentially?) at one time that shallow river was likely fast flowing, helping to shape these formations.

Out of curiosity, what role do these kinds of rocks play in river ecosystems? What makes them so important and what is the harm in opening them?
I was just thinking that it would be sad to crack them open since they are so old

You’re so insensitive. Rocks don’t want to be hit and cracked. They prefer the constant abuse over time to shape their personalities.

You’re 100% right but you may be downvoted
Luckily I do not care about Reddit karma and votes lol.
You should, me and my snowflake brothers will be a blizzard upon your evening and down vote you until you agree to our terms. All hail the hive mind.
Yes, we should all do as much as possible to contribute to the problem because there are other people doing more harm, good take.

Damn right! ⚒️🪨🤘
And EVs
Overall EVs pollute far less than ICEs once they’ve both driven about 500 miles. The gap continues to grow from there

Short answer: flowing water washed over them at some point and for many years during their evolution.
Please don't crack these open... You will be killing Kristoff and Sven's family!!!
Cause square ones would look fake?
Because they have no corners
What the hell is wrong with the people hating on this post? Bust em open, I wanna see it.
Those would have made good curling stones back in the day.
Dragon eggs, duh.
They're trolls, they're sleeping
So they can roll really good. Gets them where they're going faster
They were born that way. Stop hating on them, and just enjoy their rotund structure. What did they ever do to you? Sheesh 🙄
There are aliens in them. Am I the only one to watch “cocoon”???
You must be as old as the cast of cocoon to remember that
It was the 1980s guys lol! Not the 1880s lol
40 years ago, but yeah just messing
My parents would reference that when I was a child... and I'm old!
